dont know if this should be in this thread, let me know if so... any way... i was thinking about getting a m64 yugo but as all y'all know, their barrels are a tub o butter. can i just buy a russian barrel from the local swap meats and throw it in there? not sure if they are compatible.. if any body knows, what r all the screw in barrels that are compatible.. im hoping to find a hardened chrome barrel to snuggle in and make it its new home. either answer or point me to the right thread fellas. thx

I believe that all Soviet barrels were chromed, but with good cleaning habits (corrosive milsurp ammo) or in shooting commercial rounds, it really doesn't matter. A standard, unplated bore will last just as long as a plated one will last.

I have a daughter. I tell her, "911 is what you dial after you're raped. 1911 is what you should have before they try."
